How the club works
The EcoDesign Best Practice Club trains and supports medical device manufacturers to use ENVIRON's web-based process and procedures for EcoDesign and Product Stewardship, so that logging into www.medical-ecodesign.com becomes an integral part of the company’s New Product Design process. The format and delivery of the Club's structured training workshops and webinars was developed following extensive consultation with leading European medical device trade associations.

International standard
The Club is based on the new International Standard IEC 60601-1-9 for Environmentally Conscious Design of Medical Electrical Equipment. IEC 60601-1-9 is focussed on medical electrical equipment, but ENVIRON has developed 'best practice' processes and procedures which can assist all medical device manufacturers to gain tangible business benefits from EcoDesign and Product Stewardship.
